Be it known'that I, HARRY -BREGMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at -Lorain, in the county of Lorain and State of ()hio, have invented certain new and useful I the transverse bar thereof for firmly grip ping the same. I I w A further object of the invention 1s to provide a sad-iron handle which is of simple construction andstamped from plate ,ma-

terial. v

With the above and other objects in view, the invention will be hereinafter fully described as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and the novel features thereof will be distinctly pointed out in the appended claim. I I I In the drawings similar characters of references are used to indicate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is a side elevationof a sad-iron with a handle constructed *in accordance with the invention attached thereto,

Fig. 2 is a similar view with parts broken away to better show the construction,

Fig. 3is a bottom plan view of the ,sad' iron handle,

Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a portion of the gripping lever, I

Fig. 5 is a view illustrating the position of the gripping lever when the transverse bar of the sad-iron body is at a right angle to the longitudinal axis thereof, and

Fig. 6 is a similar view illustrating'the position of the gripping lever when the transverse bar of the sad-iron body is at an angle with relation to the longitudinal-axis thereof. V 2

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body o-fza sad-iron having a eentralde ression 2 and a transverse bar 3, which" as dinary con t i n Th tr nsfe ee 7, 1 1. eria1 t aeaost,

This handle has b'eeir designed with a gripping means so arranged as tohav e two gripping edg s. for firmlyfengeging Sa d" t ans ers bar, either'when straight or on an angle.

grip lever 14 is stamped-from plate-mate- 'rial, and formed at its forward end are a 5 1 pair of depending lugs 16 and-17 arranged in transverse spaced relation and having teeth at theirrear edges for engaging the forward side of the transverse bar 3 of the bodyof the sad-iron. "The lugs 16 and .17

downwardly and hold it in said: position. In using this sad-iron handle, one or two of thel fingers of the hand holding the hand grasp 9 are placed under theffinger' grip 19 to lift up the grip lever 14, and after applying the base 4 to the'top of the bodyl of the s sad-ironwith the lug 10" against the rear sideof the transverse bar 3 thereof, the-finwhether straight across or on an angle A A suitable; flat I100 engage the fEOlWillClSidB of said transverse bar due to the action ofthe spring 20, therei by securely fixing the handle to the body of the sad-iron. Should the transverse bar 3 be on an angle'with relation to the longitudinal'center of the sad-iron body, or be slightly irregular in form or size as is often 1 the case in castings, the lugs 16 and 17 of the grip lever 14 Will automatically adjust themselves to same so that each lug engages the transverse bar and thereby securely holds the handlc'tothe body of the sad-iron.

To detach the handle from the body 1, the

what I claim is r In a sad-iron, the combination of a body, the body having a depression spanned by :1

transverse bar, a handle, the handle having a base, the base having a lug adapted to engage the rear side of sald transversebar,

the base-being provided with an openingtransverse bar, and said opening and said recess being of sufficient Width'to allow for lateral and angular movements of said hooks and said lugs to permit adjustmentof said lugs to said transverse bar, substantially as described.
